The LG Cookie Fresh GS290 is an entry-level touchscreen phone which supports three separate home screen pages, one for contacts, one for widgets and another for Live Square, the fun interface which presents your contacts as tiny cartoonish beings on a green lawn, trying to draw your attention towards them. Whenever any of your contacts send you a message, the avatar would let you know of it instantly.
The LG Cookie Fresh GS290 also comes with a dedicated social networking client. The phone features an integrated music player that lets you filter tracks by artist, song, album and genre and supports equalizer presets. The loudspeaker on the GS290 delivers high quality, distortion free acoustics, and you can even connect any headphones to the 3.5 mm jack.
The Cookie GS290 features an in-built FM antennae that lets you listen to radio without having to plug in a headset. It supports One Touch Social Networking with instant access to MySpace, Twitter and Facebook with the SNS widget on the homescreen. It also features a helpful Oxford Dictionary widget, where you can type the word and get the meaning and the correct usage almost instantly. The phone supports three way user interface that gives you full customization powers and lets you set your homescreen to reflect your mood.
The LG Cookie Fresh GS290 also comes with a 2 MP camera, which offers different options like white balance, effects and exposure. The GS290 lacks 3G and Wi-Fi, but you can still browse the web using GPRS and EDGE, the scrolling is smooth and you can zoom using the double tap feature. The phone allows for 10 hrs of talk time and 390 hrs in standby, which is above average for a touchscreen handset. It also comes with a speed-dial screen which lets you quickly call up your friends without having to go through the contact list.
The menu on the Cookie Fresh GS290 is neatly segregated into communication, entertainment, settings and utilities. This allows for faster access to your apps and widgets. You can even multitask, if you use the shortcut button to launch a new favorite app window while already in an application. The phone also supports good haptic feedback, which allows for an receptive touch experience.

The Cookie Fresh keeps the slim, silver blue finish (it's also available in silver orange as far as I know). Despite its slender measurements, WQVGA touch screen into its sleek frame. It retains the three buttons along the bottom of the screen that we saw on its predecessor -- a call, call-end and termination button.
On the back, you'll find a 2-megapixel camera. Around the edges, there are buttons to control the volume, initiate the camera mode and lock the handset. There's also a microSD card slot, and a micro-USB port for connecting the Cookie Fresh to a PC.
The battery of the phone is 900mAH, this may be not sufficient for any high hand phone, but for LG COOKIE FRESH, it is not a bad buy for teens and youngis.
We were taken with the Cookie Fresh's display. In this price range, our expectations of screens are so low that. The Cookie Fresh, however, surprised us with its bright, clear. On-screen objects look sharp, and text is clear. All in all, the Cookie Fresh is a good-looking phone for the price. But don’t dare to compare the phone with the Iphones or the Androids,LG GS290 gives a very poor quality resistive touch, which sometimes makes me anger.
The huge problem with this phone sometime the phone hangs during functioning for 20-30 seconds and this happens on regular basis.
The device only supports mp3,mp4 pattern and the video format only supported when converted by its only PC SUITE, all MP4 format it doesn’t support.
For the price, the LG Cookie Fresh GS290 is a decent device, even if it won't be bothering most smart phones any time soon. In particular, the fantastically bright and clear screen is one of the best we've seen on a phone of this price.
